Page 2: Package Contents, Pro WX

Imation includes a few items besides the WUSB hard drive and literature with software. You get a USB A-B cable, the AC adapter, a USB extension adapter, the WUSB dongle, and the power cord.

The USB extension adapter is a nice addition to the package. Since the WUSB dongle is so big, it might on fit in some cramped USB ports. Imation mitigates this by including a small extension that swivels and tilts to accommodate tight spaces. We like little extras like this included in a package. It shows that the company pays attention to the fringe cases.

The Imation Pro WX is black with silver feet and a white face. The antenna is small and compact and can be shifted downward to minimize the look of the unit. As it stands, the Pro WX is an easy fit on most desktops. People that have limited space will probably keep this closer to the floor, or in another area with the wireless support built into the unit itself.

The back of the unit contains the USB2 port and the AC adapter port. The small button is for pairing the unit to WUSB host devices. Since Wireless USB requires pairing, the standard tries to make it easier to pair a device than Bluetooth. We still aren't there yet. There is an active cooling solution in the form of a small fan that is audible, but not overly loud while in use.

The front of the unit contains the power button and the backup button. The backup button sends a signal to the backup software (useful only in Windows/Mac) to start a backup of whatever you want. While the unit is on, the bottom light is lit. Just plugging the unit in means the Imation logo at the top stays on all the time. The light isn't overly strong, so it won't interfere with your work like some really bright LEDs would.

Imation needs to be commended on their use of built-in feet for the Pro WX. We've seen countless companies cheap out on design and use a plastic piece to hold the unit upright. Imation goes a step further and integrates the feet into the unit. They are solid and makes the unit feel more well made than a competing unit. The feet can retract if you want to lay the unit down on the desk as well.

You didn't test it wirelessly because you couldn't?
What kind of Mickey Mouse operation are you running there?
The whole point of this very expensive drive is that it is wireless! The part you didn't test. Morons!

Did you actually read the review where it states that wireless is terribly slow compared to the wired counterpart? Plus, the controller is doing something to slow down the transfer rate. Wireless would make it even slower.

If you also read MORE of the review, you'd see where I spelled out how to get a wireless USB drive on the cheap. Thanks for your comments, now go learn some manners!

One more thing, we tell companies that we test on Linux. If your product doesn't work, that's tough.
